These soft and fluffy homemade tortillas are perfect for tacos, wraps, or enjoying on their own.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.
If you don't have a pastry blender, use two knives or your fingers.
Gradually add the warm water, mixing with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
Add water slowly to avoid making the dough too sticky.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Kneading helps develop the gluten, giving the tortillas their structure.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Resting allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions and roll each into a ball.
Keep the dough balls covered to prevent them from drying out.
Roll each ball out on a floured surface into a thin circle.
Roll from the center outward to achieve an even thickness.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Flip the tortilla when bubbles start to form on the surface.
Serve the tortillas warm and enjoy with your favorite fillings.
Wrap the tortillas in a towel to keep them warm until serving.
